Riassunto

A woman fights for legal acknowledgement of her right to own her own money. Another fights for education for woman, while another works to establish nursing as an essential and professional skill. One woman fights for birth control, another for 'fallen' ie rejected women. One fights, and dies, to get the vote for women, and another for political freedom. Eight women, eight pioneers, eight SIGNIFICANT SISTERS. This is a brilliant piece of narrative biography and a salute to the women who fought for the basic rights of their 'sisters' today. The women are Florence Nightingale, Josephine Butler, Caroline Norton, Emily Davies, Emma Goldmann, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Margaret Sanger and Elizabeth Blackwell.
